This special two-episode DVD exposes the highly effective, real-world fighting systems of the most feared armed forces in the world.

• Fans favorite two military combat episodes: Krav Maga of the Israeli Commandos and Marine Corps Martial Arts.
• Jason and Bill have only a week to learn enough not to get killed.
• Learn the practical combat required when hand-to-hand is literally a matter of life or death.
• An exciting new series explores the origins and teachings of the world's martial arts.

Despite its emphasis on hand-to-hand combat, in many ways martial arts are about how not to fight. This is one of the first lessons hosts and seasoned fighters Jason Chambers and Bill Duff learn on their globe-spanning quest to discover the traditions and techniques of the world's fighting styles. Learn with them as they seek out Masters of ancient and modern disciplines in the lands where they were created. Discover the cultures that gave rise to distinct martial arts. Witness as Jason and Bill challenge a champion - a true HUMAN WEAPON - after only a week of instruction!

Real-world application of deadly force is not at the center of most fighting techniques. But when the military of a great warring nation develops a system of hand-to-hand, you can bet it's long on lethality and short on mysticism. Bill and Jason have enlisted masters from the Israeli commandos and from the United States Marine Corps to learn the specialized, overpowering techniques created to maximize soldiers' deadliness and safety.

Specifically designed for the Israeli Defense Forces in the 1940s, Krav Maga is dirty, anything-goes fighting meant to disarm and destroy assailants carrying multiple weapons. Our hosts journey to some of the most sacred religious sites in the world while learning to escape deadly chokes, deflect weapons, and perfect ruthless counterattacks in their quest to become true HUMAN WEAPONS. And urban assault exercises put them through their paces in a real-world environment.

And in the States, Duff and Chambers report to Marine Corps Base Quantico to get a painful lesson in the hand-to-hand style that has helped spawn the Marines' widely feared reputation. They shoot, clash, and kick their way through the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, an amalgam of the most effective fighting techniques from martial arts around the world.

In this special two-episode collection, watch what happens when Bill and Jason learn from the best Israeli and American military instructors how to apply immediate dominant physical force. And watch what happens when it is applied to them!
